Yes I did look for Alfa in the list, I wasn't surprised it wasn't there, as in my experience it'd be so far off the top of the chart, the others would look tiny

Yes I did look for Alfa in the list, I wasn't surprised it wasn't there, as in my experience it'd be so far off the top of the chart, the others would look tiny in comparison.
I loved our Alfa, but my word was it expensive to maintain (and broke a LOT).
- busterarm 10y agoImagine where Jaguar would have shown up in the list in the pre-Tata Motors era. Even though Ford made improvements, it wasn't until like '96 that Lucas went out of business and was out of the mix...
- jean_claude 10y agoJaguar owners don't care about maintenance costs, anecdotally speaking, of course. Executive VP at an old job had a Jaguar (XJ-12 I think) that would occasionally catch fire and 'need some work'. I swear it spent more time in the shop than on the road, but he loved Jags.
- sokoloff 10y agoLoved mine as well ('86 Quad Spider) but mine was very easy on maintenance. Owned it about 20 years, daily drove it (year-round in Boston area) for about 10 of those, and in 135K miles, it left me stranded once when a Bosch distributor broke internally. Brakes and maintenance parts were very reasonably priced, readily available, and the car was easy to maintain except for some engine bay clearance issues [when changing motor mounts and the like] due to the bodywork shape.
